Just two cents about rinsing brushes: I come from the watercolor world. There is common practice to use two cups and always rinsing the brushes in the same order that way you get one super filthy cup of grey water and the other one stays fairly clean for a very long while. There are other watercolor painters that also use two cups but on a different way, one is for rinsing warm colors and the other for cool colors. I don't subscribe to that practice but maybe works for one of you.

@the9nazgul_razul 6 месяцев назад

This is such a good idea. I'm going to start doing this asap. Thanks for the advice

@janandersson9411 4 месяца назад

That is how I do it. Two cups, one for rinsing the brush, the other one to make sure it’s clean. Works fine. It also means that I always have clean water on my desk if I need to fill up my wet palette.

@Shadowdncer Месяц назад

Especially for acrylics, that two-cup cascade should be plenty. I've never seen the second cup get visibly polluted when using "modelling-size" brushes and paint quantities, even when doing an oil wash or rinsing a flat size 12. I do have a paint puck and some dish soap in the first cup for good measure, so any detritus ends up sinking below the puck and I don't stir it up so much. When I have a very dirty brush, I simply wipe it off after the first step and give it another go. Water colours are a lot messier than acrylics too, so if it works there, it should work everywhere 😁

My wife bought me the fancy flush water pot, much to my amusement. Then I tried it, found I actually REALLY like it and I’ve used it for around a year. I wanted it to be useless, but it’s actually pretty good, as long as you give it a clean every now and again

My friend got me one of the water dispensers so I could always have clean water. I love it and have used it for the last year. It is kind of a game changer. I don't have to worry about my kids or cats knocking over my water and it has sped up my painting time by not needing to get fresh water all the time. It has also helped me maintain my brushes better so I'm keeping them for longer

@verigone2677 6 месяцев назад

Jon, when buying scale materials, you are looking for 1:75 on the smallest end (this is just a bit shorter than old GW models) but most materials between 1:64 and 1:50 should work well, animals and figures you want as close to 1:58 as you can find, everything else should look just fine (chain, cable, wire, trim, etc). The scale rigging you bought is for 1:144 to 1:100 ships or 1:74 and 1:48 planes, which tend to actually run quite small for their advertised scales.

@gamedude412 6 месяцев назад

1/72 is going to be the common one 1/76 is a very unique and fading scale

@verigone2677 6 месяцев назад

@@gamedude412 good catch

@stormycatmink 6 месяцев назад

I've also found if you're trying to get scale model vehicles/vehicle parts.. just because of the 'heroic' proportions of GW vehicles and scales, although it's technically supposed to be more like 1:65 or 1:75 (depending on how you measure GW's scale), sometimes 1:48 vehicles (or even 1:35) just 'feel' better with existing vehicles and units. It can depend a lot on the style of the vehicle and how large it is, though. It's hard to guess without just trying it, since GW minis (and most sci-fi/fantasy miniature games) are not to a strict scale, and tend to exaggerate things, especially vehicles. A great example would be a plane.. a 1:72 WWI bomber would probably fit well (maybe even 1:144, for something like a B-29), where as if it's a jeep, or personal tools and stowage, you probably need more like 1:48.

@citizenrico42 6 месяцев назад

Great to see the love for the rinser. Tip for anyone that has one that seems to drain or leak, the lid is not threaded even though the neck is. To fix this just fill the lip in the lid with water and push the reservoir down into it. I have had one for almost a year now and really like it. It helps with having my hobby space always ready. Edit: Also prevents accidentally drinking paint water.

@dinonut80 6 месяцев назад

The desk vacuum has been one of my best purchases. Got one last year as a bit of a joke but holy crap it’s super handy! I’ve been making my own sanding sticks for a few years now. Maybe it’s not cheaper and certainly more work making them, but I get the exact grit I want, the shape I want and the length I want. Plus that last for months, so I think it’s worth it. Love your videos. Seriously you make some of the most useful content on RU-vid.

The "sticks" for ink mixer fit into one another end to end so you can customize it to any depth of bottle. I even took a coffee stirrer/straw and hot clued it to one piece, snipping the ends to fan our and catch sediment at the bottom of the bottle (particularly helpful for metallic paints). Not sure if you can get extra bits so make sure if you buy one it comes with lots of extras - mine came with 50.

I love it's simplicity (though assembly was a very slight pain) and it works really well. Personally I don't care if my friends would make fun of me for having it if it works (and it does) plus everyone uses their own tools, right? 😉 You can find extra 'tanks' for that rig online that are double the size for more water to flush for only 5 dollars. The 500ml tank for the cleaner can be found at Green stuff world

@maqywhaq 6 месяцев назад

That's a photoetch saw, I use Gunze branded ones to do cleanly extract surface details off miniatures or make very fine cuts without deforming things(even with a scalpel blade, pushing it through the plastic will cause it to deform a tiny bit). The hobby vacuum was originally designed for cleaning up sprue offcuts, so it's really meant for bits of plastic rather than flock/sand. I use mine sometimes to do general debris cleanup, but as nice as it can be to cut down maintenance time, a good wipedown is always good too... The drill guide thing I suspect is meant for center drilling plastic stock(thus the various sizes). Mostly meant for plastic rod/square stock where you might tape a piece to the guide to center the piece for drilling. Personally, it's not really stable enough for really precise work(which IMO is what it's meant to help with).

@SenselessUsername 4 месяца назад

The saws look like scaled-down japanese pull saws? So you'd only cut on the pull-stroke (where western style cuts both ways and therefore needs thicker blade hence more loss/less precise). I can't see the teeth detail on the video; if so it would be better than it seems here. (Plus the opportunity of installing the teeth the wrong way.)

I personally wouldn't say Dspiae tools are obscure, they are very popular and one of the go-to hobby tool manufacturers in the model (gunpla and related types) building community. They have a huge range of tools and nearly all of them are incredibly well made and useful. The "sanding stick" that you got is also a Dspiae product (or maybe you got a knock off version, I didn't see their logo on the box), they are called Sanding Boards and they make many shapes for different uses. The carbon fiber ones are intended to be semi-flexible around surfaces. They also have aluminum ones if you need something rigid. They have some amazing stuff, you've only scratched the surface and should give their product line a good look =) As I'm both a miniature painter and model builder, I have regularly used these tools and many more across hobbies. I'm happy to see they are getting some love on the miniature side of things. Great video as always

I got one of those vacuums a couple years ago and it is a work surface lifesaver! So great to use to clean up all the shavings from doing assembly or chunks of dried paint from cleaning out bottles and pallets. Not to mention getting sand off the desk when using non-paste basing material!

@karlb6273 6 месяцев назад

Simple solution for clean brushes: Use two water cups, one dirty and one clean. When the water in the dirty cup is replaced (a couple of times a week maybe), it then becomes the clean cup. Also, use a separate cup for metallics. This has worked perfectly for me for 20+ years.

@chrisburrows1380 6 месяцев назад

Yeah but the rinser makes it even easier! and having clean water at hand to water down paints is a god send.

@karlb6273 4 месяца назад

I have found that I get a more consistent mixing result wit a dropper bottle of water and Liquitex matte medium mixed 4:1. Some of my paints split when mixed with water only, but never with this medium mix. Also, I can dilute paints more, if I like. But in the end, of course, it’s just a matter of preference.

@Astronometric 6 месяцев назад

15:00 I always use two cups of water to rinse my brushes. One is for the heavy rinsing when I switch between different paints and the second one is just to get the brush wet and as a source of clear water if I need it for dilution. It usually goes like this > dirty brush into the first cup to clean > dry and remove the dirty water on a piece of absorbent paper > wet the brush in the clean water > use the new paint. I’ve seen this trick done by a few watercolor artists and it works really well. It takes a bit to get use to it and in the beginning is easy to confuse between the two cups, but after a while it becomes a routine and it really keeps the brush clean and your paints on the palette free from cross-contamination.

Hey Jon, for the bricks you bought that are the wrong size around the 6:45 mark, they make amazing urban debris if you use hobby pliers or whatever you have around the desk and crush them up. They should be really easy to crush and get some varying sized rubble, or you can crush them again and get some smaller rubble.

I've had a similar water dispenser for several years now, I love it. Never going back to glasses/cups of water, even if I did use 2 to rinse in. Like you pointed out in the video, painting with metalics etc really makes you have to change your water out all the time. So a water dispenser like that is really helpful. My version does have a much larger water tank though.

@jwojchi 3 месяца назад

Dremel makes a drill press mount that you could use if you need to make straight holes. Also I work at a workshop and we always "ding" or spot our holes with a scribe before drilling unless we're going through an already existing hole(kinda like that template you bought) because like you said, sometimes the drill decides to veer of to the side. Definitely gonna check out that pen sander though, looks like it'd be great for my sculpey and resin sculptures!

@Haanzer 6 месяцев назад

I'd heard about the water pot flushing thing before but never actually seen it in action, seems pretty cool! I think an added benefit to it that might not be apparent at first is that it'll get you in a much better habit of changing your water more regularly. Like you said yourself, with a regular water pot you can wind up having the same water sitting there for weeks even months sometimes. With this device, you'll run out of water in the reservoir after a while and have to replace it - which means you're forced to get fresh water when you run out. Kind of a neat side effect.

I've got to give credit where it's due. I bought the Mold Line Sander from Dspiae (6:54) along with the sanding pads (and the various cutting bits for good measure) based upon John's recommendation (you can get everything via the link John provided). While it was shipping I questioned if I'd just wasted my money. I got it in and started messing with it. It's been two months now and this thing is awesome! I've used it for sanding mold lines and it does do a very nice job of it. I've also used it for sculpting details in my latest over the top base for a local competition. I've used it for cutting back out of whack FDM layer lines on a commission terrain piece. This thing is fantastic and is constantly presenting itself as a solution to the myriad of miniature challenges that pop up. It's become a VERY valuable tool for me. Thanks John for pointing this out!

Not sure how much replacements for that sander are - but one tool I'd recommend especially for scratch building, is some leather punches. Paper, foam, thin plasticard, these punches are great. And if you need refills for your fancy sander... get some cheaper generic foam sanding sponge and use a leather punch to make your own. Even hobby grits like 1k you can find for pretty cheap, and probably less than however many refils you get from DPSIAE Speaking of fancy DSPIAE sanding; some double stick tape will do just fine with whatever sandpaper you have to hand. Granted, I made my own sticks from brass square tubing, but it should work fine on carbon fiber too. Come to think of it, a $1 foam sheet from the arts and crafts store, plus the tape and sandpaper will probably work a treat for the motorized tool as well... I'll honestly have to get one to try myself

For an alternative to the chain link fence, I find fly screens are a pretty decent copy, and they look right with the models, no so true to scale you can't see that it is a mesh, but no so large that it looks unrealistic

I have the brush rinse pot, thought it would be awesome, used it and it works..it also slowly never stops dispensing water, overflows the bowl and soon puddles around my desk

My wife bought me the dog dish. I used it so much that I wore out the spring. It's solid, if silly. I use a lot of white and red...sooo yeah, it worked well.

ngl if I had a dedicated workstation instead of awkwardly cramming stuff onto my computer desk, that dog bowl brush washer would be convenient as hell

You were using the saw wrong: it is a pull saw, like Japanese woodworking saws. So slight force down when pulling, no force down when pushing back. Make sure the teeth are oriented accordingly. The idea is that the pull straightens out the thin blade.

I got the green stuff world brush rinser with a larger water bottle and I've been using it for months and I love it! It is so much easier to keep the brush clean and I don't have to keep going back to the sink to get clean water in order to have a clean brush.

The brush flush is amazing. Has truly made a difference in the lifespan of my brushes.

that BRUSH RINSER is rly good, got 500ml bottle for it and now it is hard to use somethings diff to rinse when I am painting and changing from metalic to normal paints and using diff brush from natural hair.. this is best, don't need to worry that metal flakes will kill my expensive brush

I'm still in the air on wanting to get a brush flusher. I got a silicone cup that has some notches that I can put brushes in with the brush down. Doesn't refresh the water, but it works well.

That mini vac looks good, especially since you can easily open it and pull out bits you wanted back. And it a lot better than sweeping everything off onto the floor. Good call on that one.

I have the brush bath and it changed my brush cleaning game totally. Brushes last a lot longer and it is easier to see when your brush is actually clean.

The rinser is really great. As a dad my time to paint is often limited by the attentionspan of my 5 year old son ( he often paints with me). I love that I can quickly rinse my brushes, use some brush soap and leave the remaining clean water for later.

I have that brush rinser, and I like it a lot. An issue is the that tabs connecting the push button to the seal are flimsy, so be warned that some repairs may be eventually be required.

Some kitchen stores sell the same vacuum for fairly cheap

I was almost expecting Miniac to pop up to mock you when you were speaking about the brush rinser. I have one of those mini hoovers, and it's surprisingly awesome. Tempted by the electric sanding pen though.

A buddy got me that flushing water pot for Christmas last year and I do love it, though I wish the whole thing was a bit bigger.

Good scale bricks I have found at Greenstuffworld. You can also get molds to just make a bunch of your own, and pipes and such (making terrain is cool with them!!)

Re the brush washer I am using it and the screw which holds the mechanism from underneath is really rusty after 6 months. If anything is gonna fail it will be that so be prepared for that after a bit of use and replace it before the thing gets too rusty to remove

To mix packed paints, take a brush that has ended is serviceable life. Cut the handle shorter for ease of use. Place it in the Chuck of a cordless drill (a smaller drill is easier to use). Have at it. If the paint is super stubborn, a toothpick in a Dremel would work as well.

Dspiae in general makes great products for miniature painting! The nippers are great! And they have flexible sanding pads you can cut to size

Bought a similar desk vacuum. As with you. Was pretty dubious. But awesome little buy. Definitely recommend

I’ve had the water flush thingy for a couple of months now and I think it’s pretty good. My only gripe is the base is smooth and tends to wander when I apply a bit of pressure to clean my brushes.

@grantmorrison6464 4 месяца назад

I added a spill rim to my brush washer. Just cut a hole in a plastic jar lid and sealed it onto the top around the existing washing recess with bathroom sealant. I am also considering a raised lip along the water channel as it sometimes spills over. The spring loaded arm can also work free at the pivot end but that's an easy fix. Overall I am happy with it though.
